Untergang
Ewiges Reich Lyrics

Untergang

Ewiges Reich's song "Untergang" (which translates to "Doom" or "Downfall" in English) is a powerful anthem that speaks to the idea of a great battle between Christianity and a pagan way of life - an idea that's often associated with some extreme right-wing ideologies. The opening lines set the tone for the song's message: the battle has begun, and it's going to be the final fight between the two opposing forces. The imagery of blood on the sword indicated the physicality of the confrontation, with the blood of Christians serving as a symbol of the pagan victory.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that there's a strong sense of pride and defiance in the lyrics. It's better, the writer suggests, to die for one's values than to live with no real freedom - values that have been long dead in this context. There's a sense of black and white morality, with the pagan way of life being praised as the correct and only way, while Christianity and its values are seen as something that must be defeated.

The final part of the lyrics speaks of a determined hope, that the pagans will emerge victorious even if they lose in the short term. Victory will come if they can regroup and reorganize, and the Christians will be defeated. While the song can be seen as a potent call to arms or a celebration of a particular set of cultural values, it's important to note the potential harm such ideologies and messages can cause in the real world, especially in a world facing issues of racism and xenophobia.
